You can : get it on to a 128MB flash with a config file which excludes stuff : like toolchain etc. without much trouble. The interesting size really : is with a config file like this. : : 64MB requires more work, but is possible. I think I once generated a TinyBSD image on the order or 20M. However, I lost the config files to do that in a disk crash... Warner
